Memnarch
$5.23
Legendary Artifact Creature — Wizard

Mono-blue artifact control that ramps hard, then turns opponents' best permanents into artifacts and takes them with Memnarch.
Read more
Memnarch has two abilities that work as a pair. For {1}{U}{U}, any target permanent becomes an artifact permanently. For {3}{U}, you gain control of target artifact permanently. Together, 7 mana steals any permanent on the table, and artifacts cost only 4. The deck runs lots of mana rocks so Memnarch can activate more than once a turn. It wins by taking opponents' threats and mana until they have nothing left to play with.
In the recorded games, the deck ramped with rocks like Mana Crypt, sometimes doubled by Phyrexian Metamorph. Rhystic Study, Consecrated Sphinx and Sea Gate Restoration kept cards flowing. Vedalken Shackles and Bribery took creatures before Memnarch even landed, and stealing an early Birds of Paradise set one opponent back badly. Cyclonic Rift and All Is Dust were the big resets. Its weakness was speed: the deck spent early turns setting up and sometimes fell to a low life total. Path to Exile on Consecrated Sphinx, a Reclamation Sage on Prototype Portal and counterspells all stopped key plays.
